Electronic Structure· Electrons orbit around the Nucleus of an atom on shells/energy levels· The first shell can hold 2 electrons, and the rest of the shells can hold 8 electrons The `Atomic Number' for Carbon is 6, therefore it has 6 XX electrons XX The first 2 electrons fill up the first shell and the remaining X 4 electrons are start to fill up the second shell C X As the outer shell is not full the carbon atom is unstable and reactive The written version of the diagram looks like: 2, 4 (as there is two electrons on the first shell and 4 on the next shell)…read more
